Today was a beautiful day filled with sight seeing! I am afraid that I kept Barry and the Bunners in the Hermitage a few hours longer than they had anticipated! Our guide had gotten us an early admission.....I was giddy to say the least! It was all and more than I had dreamed it would be! WOW! We left and went to The Church on Spilled Blood...another WOW! The mosaics reminded me of St. Marks in Venice. From there, we went to St.Isaac's Cathedral....just stunning. We followed all of that up with a canal cruise. St. Petersburg is truly beautiful!!! We got back to the ship in time to change clothes, grab a bite and attend an evening at Catherine's Palace. We were so tired that we almost didn't go...but I had signed up and paid for it a long time ago. Boy, am I glad we went! Besides having fabulous weather, there were a handful of guests that got to tour parts of the palace that are not on the regular daytime tour, as opposed to the thousands that were there yesterday!!!! We were entertained by an orchestra inside and out. Great experience!!! So glad we went!!!!
